Through Pleasure beyond pleasure

“Sexuality is not something instinctual; it is a creative power – it is the main cause that lies at the basis of our individual life as well as an important factor in our psychic evolution and life.” (Carl Gustav Jung)

According to the Tantric tradition, the sexual act is more than a reproductive act. This act has the power to grant states of intense pleasure and happiness, but above all it allows the two lovers to accelerate their spiritual evolution, as long as they don’t lose their energy through ejaculation during lovemaking.

Furthermore, Tantric lovemaking – involving sexual continence – can lead to the manifestation of supernatural spiritual powers (siddhis) that can help one surpass the human condition and acquire a super-human state.

Do these things sound like really big claims? Maybe so, but we assure you that once you verify this assertion on your own, your opinion will change dramatically.

Are you tired of passing pleasures, of short and unsatisfying orgasms? Are you tired of the lack of depth, and lack of the true love that makes two souls become one in the embrace of eternity?

Tantra is a chance to break free, an extremely pleasant and highly effective chance, if applied correctly and perseveringly.

Tantric spiritual teachers indicated the idea that the mere pursuit of physical pleasure during lovemaking can be dangerous, because the person may become attached to the sensations of pleasure, or become dependent on them, which will lead to feelings of fear for the loss of these sensations.

Although some people misunderstand it, Tantra means the experience and the exploitation of pleasure as a jumping board towards the expression of pure spirituality and mystic experiences.

Therefore, Tantric masters teach us that we can soar higher through the very things that usually represent the biggest obstacles for the adepts of other spiritual paths.

It is unfortunate that so many spiritual seekers who fervently deny sexuality, still allow themselves to be invaded by problems and weaknesses arising from sexuality that take them further and further away from authentic spiritual experiences.

“Hevajra Tantra” says: “The same things that bind people can free them, yet ordinary people are often deceived, not knowing this truth. Therefore, a person who does not know the truth will never reach perfection.”

Tantra is a method which can be approached here, in the world, in the middle of the illusion, which can lead towards the Divinity and to the achievement of the supreme goal – the Revelation of the Divine Spark within ourselves.

Through Tantra, we cross a dangerous place, yet a very fast one for our spiritual evolution. However we must be strong in order to use physical pleasure without falling into the trap of hedonism.

This differentiation is very subtle, yet crucial. When physical pleasure is sought without attachment to it, without clinging to it, without having any expectations from it, it will lead us to ultimate freedom. Tantra shows us the way to achieve this.

A strong aspiration towards spiritual freedom governs any activity of the Tantric practitioners. This aspiration represents the physical fuel, the positive force that brings energy and light.

The freeing power of lovemaking performed without selfishness represents the antidote for human vanity, for lethargy, and ultimately for the fear of death.

Tantrics indicate that the most important aspect practitioners of spiritual lovemaking should have is a brave and optimistic mental attitude. Positive thinking attracts lasting happiness and unbelievable joy.

Furthermore, the application of physical techniques ( hatha yoga and pranayama ) helps the control of the sexual energy, which is normally lost through ejaculation (in men’s cases) and orgasms with discharge (in women’s cases), while simultaneously preserving the spontaneity and erotic joy involved in erotic acts.

Behold then, a unique science and a unique art: Tantra.

Any couple wishing to control their sexual potential can practice the squeezing technique. While practicing it, your erection may get less hard, but this is not a problem since everything will get normal after you start making love again.

“The squeezing” is an exercise that should be done gradually, first during manual or maybe oral caresses. After you are able to control it, you can use this technique during intercourse. In this case, penetration should be gradual and, in the beginning, slow.

This method requires pressure on some sensitive spots and constant awareness of the sensations that precede ejaculation. This technique is useful for men suffering from premature ejaculation and for men wishing to practice sexual continence . The squeeze method can be practiced in many ways. There are also more spots on the phallus that can be successfully stimulated. The proper points to press are those from the corona glands.

Some sexologists consider that the entire gland should be squeezed between the thumb and index. Either way, the squeezing of the phallus has been practiced in India since ancient times so it is a reliable method.

In fact, firm pressure at the base of the penis, between the anus and sexual organs, is probably the most efficient manual method for blocking ejaculation. At this level there is a muscular muff whose repeated contraction can block seminal loss all by itself.

This area is evident to some men because of their practice. Furthermore, this pressure, be it manual or through muscular contraction, amplifies the controlled pressure because here lies the projection of the prostate, which has a sensitivity similar to a woman’s G spot.

THE GREATEST VIRILITY
Fractioned urination is a secret way to control sexual energy. Taoist sages considered that the one who controls his urinary potential implicitly controls his sexual potential.

The following simple but efficient methods generate this type of control.

1. The first method is fractioned urination, which means to urinate in short bursts and to take a break of a few seconds between each of them. This break should be long enough to completely stop the urinary flow of the urine.

You may feel thrills in your entire body, ascending along your spine, especially during the first few jets. These thrills are a manifestation of the energy that results from transmutation generated by the firm and strong contraction of the urinary sphincters.

Some texts assert that, this energy (these thrills) must be visualized and directed up the spine until they reach Ajna Chakra or Sahashrara Chakra.

The effects of this method are:
- Better control over the vital and creative energies while practicing erotic continence
- An increase of the yang, solar, dynamic virility, energizing your whole body
- An increase of your vital energy and will power.

Fractioning the urine jet 30 times during each urination for about three weeks will cure many genital and urinary diseases, disorders and will harmoniously amplify the libido.

The transmutation and sublimation of the energies generated by this technique will increase virility, sexual power, mental abilities and the power to concentrate.

2. The second method says that half an hour before making love you should drink as much water, tea or juice as possible, at least 1 liter, so that while making love your bladder is full.

You need to feel like urinating. Then, you should relax the urinary sphincters during intercourse and the entire inferior abdominal area just as you would when you want to urinate.

You should not worry, it is practically impossible to urinate now. Thus, in a few minutes, you will start to feel the energy ascending easily and spontaneously.

You may also feel some very pleasant thrills and an intense erotic emotional states. You can endlessly prolong this state by relaxing the sphincters and the inferior abdominal part.

Medical studies have discovered that any psycho-mental tension, any sexual repression or inhibition is “translated” by the organism through an involuntary contraction or muscular tension at the level of the genital system.

The relaxation and control of the muscles belonging to the inferior abdomen and to the genital area balances a human being’s psyche because it is a psychosomatic feedback mechanism.

The erotic art of Taoism consists mainly of the harmonious alternation and perfect control of contractions and relaxations.

These simple oriental techniques open a new, fascinating world of possibilities and satisfactions on many levels for the daring, sincere and lucid practitioners.

A very simple but extremely efficient method to hold the semen inside your body during sexual intercourse is Ashwini Mudra (the gesture of the horse).

You need to contract the anal sphincters for long periods of time especially while not making love. Any human being has an external anal sphincter, which is consciously controlled by an inner one. This inner anal sphincter is under an inner and involuntary control but this control will become conscious through practice.

The effects are increased vitality, an easier time transmuting and sublimating sexual energy and better self-control as your awareness is increased.

In the beginning the contractions should be repeated rhythmically in series of 30 repetitions. Then this number may be increased so that you may gradually get to hold the contraction of the anal sphincter throughout all your daily activities.

THE SECRET OF THE CHINESE EMPEROR
Use your right index in order to press a vital spot (marma) placed on yoni nadi, which is situated beyond the testicles, but before the anus. It corresponds to the origin of an energetic meridian which in Chinese acupuncture is called the “conception vessel”.

This pressure blocks the canal that takes the sperm to the penis just like when you step on a hose to stop the water from running (for more information read the article). This is a very efficient contraceptive method. Western medicine called this control method Coitus Obstructus.

THE CURE FOR PREMATURE EJACULATION
Another method is “the squeezing”. In order to hold the semen, the man should strongly squeeze his phallus when he feels he is about to ejaculate.

This method that prolongs sexual intercourse has been practiced in the oriental traditions from Japan, India, China, since ancient times. American sexologists William Masters and Virginia Johnson have recently rediscovered it. They successfully treated many premature ejaculation cases using this method.

More information about the anatomy of the penis will make you understand how to generate more intense and longer lasting erotic sensations that will also be completely controlled.

The penis is the main masculine erogenous zone. Naturally, it is very sensitive to touches and caresses. It also has its own secrets which some of the more receptive among us have already discovered.

Fine vibrations applied to the gland, a slight pinch of the urinary orifice, the touch of the area between anus and genitals, a delicate massage of the testicles, are just some of the secrets practiced in the oriental art of lovemaking.

The Japanese used them for pleasure and for curing and defusing emotional tensions through presopuncture, reflexology, and squeezing
